I have put together a Ptolemaic/Seleucid family tree plus how they are connected to Thrace, judea and a few others. Anyone interested please email me lyndseyellen@hotmail.com as the file is too big to post here and I don't have my own website to publish it on:-)[/url]

I cannot access the internet at my mother's house, wher I am currently staying, as her number is ex directory so I have to use the library's computer. For some reason they have blocked the site you suggested! Oh well never mind. I have asked them to unblock it but it could take time. Meanwhile, anyone interested let me know.

Yes cheers guys I used that site when putting mine together but I ran out of space and couldn't include everyone! I'm going to look at the decendents of Cleopatra's grandchildren now although, as you know, a lot of it is speculation.

You mean people like Zenobia Queen of Palmyra who claimed to be a descendant of Cleopatra?
I don't remember if her family relation was supposed to go through Cleopatra Selene or not.

Have you eveer seen any speculation about possible descendants of Cleopatra's sons?

Yes exactly! I did see a site which show the possible decent right from Selene to Zenobia but obviously much is speculation. I think if there was any real evidence we'd know about it but it's nich to think that Cleopatra still has decendents out there!

As for the boys, as I understand it, they were not allowed to live! Caesarion was in all likelihood killed as we know. Helios and Philadelphus appear to have been taken to Rome and were paraded in Octavian's victory parade. There is some speculation that they were raised for a time with Anthony's widow but they disapear from history after that. Selene is the only one we know that definitely survived.
